I love it. But (and this is not a critique of the comic) I also love that 18 would never do that. I love how cool she thinks Krillen is.
NiftyGoblin
Krillin and 18's romance is one of my most favorite things honestly. Such an odd couple to start but turned out so well.
LeviathanOmega
Remarkably wholesome family that gets love in DBS Super Hero as well. Movie gives a lot of love to anyone not called Goku/Vegeta.

How did he have kids with her if she's a robot?
igglebotato
Does this have anything to do with Prop. ∞?
neonoptic
It's been a while, but I think she was wished to be a human eventually?
She's not a robot, she's a cyborg. A human augmented with technology.
I thought she was an android.
Crowlands
She's not. And even if she were, she still wouldn't be, because she appears feminine, and would thus be a gynoid.
FutureFabricator
I thought Krillen wished both of the Cyborgs to be human? Or was that in the abridged version?
He originally asked that, but Shenron couldn't do that, so he instead wished that the self-destruct bombs inside of them were gone.
Even in DBZA Shenron couldn't do that, he could only remove their bombs. Dr Briefs specifies that her "baby maker's intact", though
jackwhitson
He tried to un-cyborg them but couldn't so he just disabled their self destructs. The abridged actually followed cannon pretty closely here.

Out of the whole series, Krillin is probably the guy I'm most jealous of. Dude ends up with Android 18, a good career and a family.

Gohan does pretty well too. Also I loved Future Trunks' reaction to seeing Gohan as an adult, because he DESERVES a happy and peaceful life.

he does become a cop though.

But he then gives it up to fight in multiverse battles
HellfireJags
Yeah, but it is a fantasy world with fictional things like magic, aliens, demons, and good cops.

People complained about electing a Wolfman King of the Planet at the time, but you can't argue with results.

One of my favorite memories is picking up a girl dressed as 17 at Comic-Con while I was Mr. Satan.

TheFastpaws
Considering how useful he was till he died up to this point. Kinda sad this is his legacy.
It's a rough path for Goku's original Dragon Ball crew. At least he's not Launch.
MasakoX on YouTube with his What Ifs really make me smile for the side characters.
NonstopRampage
That's what happens when you have even the SLIGHTEST bit of reverence for the source material. Unlike toriyama.
TheLastBootyBender

You're not wrong, but if you're not a creature born with the power of a god, DBZ don't care about you lol
HardDoseOfReality
I lost count of the Krillin owned count

As per the final episode, Krillin owned count has been....expunged....back to 0.

I don't see anyone dissing Hercule here...

i started re watching dbz and i realized krillin is the only mentally stable person there. i honestly hate everyone else now
HiddenSanity
Tien is a earther, but not human.
ConveyEmotionsViaGifs
Isnt he technically an humanoid alien?
He was born on earth, even though his ancestors didn't hail from earth, he does.
IAmGodot
Tien isn't human https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Triclops
dwilson0725
Isn't Yamcha also human? Do we know which is stronger as adults?
TheAccursedHamster
Yes, Krillin. easily.
Yellowchopsticks
Yamcha didn't even make it to the Nappa fight.
Evillairforrent
Yamcha's here! *exploding Saibaman* Yamcha's dead! , Tien, Get him!
Krillin>Tien>Yamcha is how the power structure goes, i think Chiaotzu is under Yamcha but i am not sure, all aliens beat the humans.
For Saiyan Saga sure, by Cell Saga I think it's Tien - Krillin - Yamcha. Albeit pretty close.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Strongest non-augmented human non-hybrid. Technically, 18 and 17 are both humans.
LetheTheArtificer
This. The fact that physical modifications allowed the androids to compete at the levels they did was amazing for humans (as a species).
Especially when you consider that Dr Gero designed them with fighting non-super saiyan Goku in mind. In a cave, with a box of scraps.
adiving
Uub would have krillin for dinner... figuratively.
GT is noncanon. We all agreed to this years ago!
Uub does still exist according to Z, just not that strong/haven't done much yet.
I didn't even know Uub was in GT. Last episode of Z though...
Still pretty weak in Z
GingerLaird
He should've been in enough tournaments for them to recognize him by now.
Mercenarity
I dunno, isn't the general public in this series mostly guileless?
The tournament announcer would recognize him, he remembers Goku and co in the 25th tournament.
AlessandraLaeif
Honestly? Krillin and Yamcha should have been sweeping those tournaments whenever a Saiyan or Tien wasn't around.
LokilairTTV
wait.....is Tien not human?
He is a Triclops, near-human.
He's supposed to be "enlightened", because his third eye is manifested and open.
There was only one between Goku being in them and the one before Buu, they where busy at the time with Cell/Androids.
lukelorian
I thought it was more them all being off planet or y'know.... Dead
Surprisingly not, 24th tournament (Hercule won) took place 5 days before Goku fought Androids, the tournament was 19 days before Cell Games.
rookie23
Sunlight reflecting off of his head blinds everyone as to 'who was that'?
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
They'd still recognize him from that time Roshi used him to defeat a werewolf. https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Man-Wolf
Someshithead241
Facts people often forget, Krillian is strongest and Mr. Satan is the only Earthling to have *not* died throughout the series.
PwnageHobo
Depends on what you mean by "the series" https://youtu.be/wH64b35ugxw
wait, didn't Mr. Satan get shot and revived by Buu?
Badly injured. Didn't die.
I think it was the dog who died.
Uh... Gohan?
Heterochromicat
Gohan died when kid Buu destroyed the Earth near end of Z
Who was Future Trunks' mentor again? I wonder what happened to that guy
Half Saiyan, doesnt count.
Still one of the few people in the series who have NEVER died. Maybe Trunks and Goten as well. Pretty much EVERYONE else born on earth has.
Some of them multiple times now!
Gohan, Goten, and Trunks died when kid Buu destroyed the Earth near end of Z
DnDArtdump
When did Bulma die? I'm not disagreeing, I just legit cannot remember.
Buu saga. Everyone on earth dies. The only people that survive? Vegeta (already dead), Supreme Kai and...Mr. Satan.
Ahhh RIGHT! Ty.
Super Buu does some move that basically kills everyone on earth after he escapes the Time Chamber.
fjjyrd
Isn't Tien stronger?
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Indbz yes
aPokal
He is not human.
DBZ guidebooks say Tien is not human: https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Triclops
No, Tien is second with Yamcha in last. But even then, Yamcha is still a planet buster.
You can dislike it all you like, Krillan is the official, canonical strongest human. Not including part saiyans
Ikusame
I get that Toriyama said that its just weird given Tien regularly showed himself to be stronger, and never stopped training.
Calamarre
but that's only with human meaning "non-monster non-saiyan"... Yamcha & Yajiorobe are the strongest within the "100% genetically human"..
NiceGreenArrows
Nope. Krillin is the strongest human, stated by toriyama. He got that Guru boost. Tiens techniques close the gap, but..
Tri-beam is like using hysterical strength to punch hard enough to break your own wrist. You may output more force than Muhammad Ali -
- in his prime with that punch, but he's still the better boxer.
Guru reached deep inside him and put stuff inside him.
"I need an adult"
RHodeidra
Always hoped he would get a transformation too. Just a flash, a moment of amazing power and a new limit for mankind to exceed
Kazeite
And the sad part is, Toriyama has already introduced Kaio-ken that could've allowed him to do just that... but they kinda stopped using it.
Now that you mention it, Tien and Yamcha (and theoretically Piccolo) should know that move as well since KKai trained them too.
I know, right? And it did look like they were using it while fighting the deceased members of the Ginyu Force.
"Should I use that one technique that can multiply my power by 20? No. I'll just let this old man robot impale me with his hand. Genius!"
Well, until Goku busted it out again in Super and then gave Vegeta PTSD lmao
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Kaio-WHAT? *mountain crashing noises*
At least someone mentioned it. Krillin survived a fight with Imperfect Cell, he took on Frieza at different versions of his transformation.>
122andan8th
He handled his own in the gotdamn tournament if power. People better put some respect on my man Takahashi. (No one will get this)
justfillingthespace
I didn't know Krillin invented Yugioh
Wrong Takahashi. Damn, the downvotes. I guess people thought I was referring to someone else?
Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yugioh. Idk why the downvotes, but he's the only Takahashi I (and I imagine most people) know of.
Imperfect nothing. Perfect Cell backhanded him through a mountain and the guy didn't even need a senzu bean.
he is NOT human, is he ? he has no nose.... Yamcha is the strongest human isn't it ? (others are only "human" with the quotes)
Heck, Krillin invented an attack that could hurt Frieza, and then Frieza decided to use against goku cause it was so good.
dunkum09
He would have taken out Nappa. Only reason he didn't is that Vegeta warned the idiot not to try to catch the destructo disk
SPQAAE
Side note: due a to a typo that almost read "destruto dick" which has vastly different connotations and is also definitely what 18 calls it
Didn't just take on Frieza. Literally took off his TAIL. Frieza. Who 90% of the Galaxy dare not even TOUCH.
Yup. The only people to cause visible damage to Freeza in all of Z are Goku, Trunks, and Krillin. He's hanging tight with two SSJs.
And Frieza has a special hatred of him for it.
It's a bit outside of the main show canon but he also helped Gohan fight Garlic Jr., he stands up to guys even if he's afraid
That said... I think we need to recognise that Tien CANONICALLY threw Tri-Beams at imperfect Cell for FOUR GODDAMN HOURS.
That move KILLED him last time he used it once!
AnticlockwiseMetamorphosis
"Kiko fuck yourself"
RexNihil

HappyTimeHollis
That fucker was powerful. How the fuck you leave a rectangular scorch mark from a triangular beam? Dude messing with the laws of physics!
TharrickLawson
probably the same way that all these squares make a circle
He used to be a much bigger badass until they decided to basically push everyone who wasn't a Saiyan out of frame.
LtColScottyBukkake
I particularly like the tournament of power recruitment episode did him justice
RoyalWithChz
Can you give me more info? I’d like to watch that.
aPinchofMensch
You realize that's for story reasons and if there were any shred of reality to it, he'd be dead, quickly, many more times over.
...the "reality" is he's gokus first rival, learned from a great martial arts master and got powered up by both god and aliens...
LucidPariah
And he still managed to land 18! Yamcha becomes an absolute Bitch and Krillin has won the game!
"Shred of reality" to the story about space-monkey-men with energy attacks fighting aliens, androids, and gods? Yeah...
Literally anyone after orig DB can one tap his ass. The only reason they didn't, was plot armor and story padding. Get over it.
TheZommie
also a three year old surviving alone in a forest filled with dinosaurs until he is like 10, then speaking perfect japanese
theauthor
I've always wondered why Krillin didn't use a wish to turn himself Saiyan or just wish to go beyond the limits of humans.
Because he likes himself.
OatmealChocolateChipCookies
Oh, no, no, no. The dragon balls are for important wishes, like for Bulma's vanity.
What did Bulma use it for to affect her vanity?
moonshadowkati
Krillin rarely ever WINS, but he always puts up a half-decent showing. I admire his guts.
Jonesso
He knows that he is just there to buy time but damn he does his best every time regardless
kaitekarue
Hes the badass who sets the bar of how badass the badguy is. Krillian is the BEST human. And when he gets wrecked.. well then the saiyans.
WynnCreek
He's got a 100% winrate against any other Human, poor dude just keeps getting involved with shit way above his paygrade.
WhyDontYouMakeMe
He can hold on against overwhelming odds until help arrives basically every time. He's humanity's first line of defense
Pupvote
Krillin is my favorite character by dint of his huge balls. He's played up as a coward, but he shows up and puts the fucking work in.
superfluffysheep
Krillin's my favorite too. He's like the foundation that holds up all the other characters. He's not the spotlight, but he's needed.
justatinyduck
And he is at least two raditzes strong
CogPrimus
It is easy to admire his guts, they're often on the outside.
Touche, you have me there. :)
Morkath
He married android 18, and probably has the healthiest relationship of all of them, he definitely won.
True but I think that's what made him cool. He tried without knowing he would/could win. It's boring if you know the guy will always win.
ziralien
I enjoyed his 'scared, but finding himself' again arc in Super. He knows everyone outclasses him, and that eats at him. But he overcomes.

You can dislike it all you like, Krillan is the official, canonical strongest human. Not including part saiyans
Ikusame
I get that Toriyama said that its just weird given Tien regularly showed himself to be stronger, and never stopped training.
Calamarre
but that's only with human meaning "non-monster non-saiyan"... Yamcha & Yajiorobe are the strongest within the "100% genetically human"..
NiceGreenArrows
Nope. Krillin is the strongest human, stated by toriyama. He got that Guru boost. Tiens techniques close the gap, but..
Crowlands
Tri-beam is like using hysterical strength to punch hard enough to break your own wrist. You may output more force than Muhammad Ali -
Crowlands
- in his prime with that punch, but he's still the better boxer.
Someshithead241
Guru reached deep inside him and put stuff inside him.
TheLastBootyBender
"I need an adult"
RHodeidra
Always hoped he would get a transformation too. Just a flash, a moment of amazing power and a new limit for mankind to exceed
Kazeite
And the sad part is, Toriyama has already introduced Kaio-ken that could've allowed him to do just that... but they kinda stopped using it.
mward1984
Now that you mention it, Tien and Yamcha (and theoretically Piccolo) should know that move as well since KKai trained them too.
Kazeite
I know, right? And it did look like they were using it while fighting the deceased members of the Ginyu Force.
mward1984
"Should I use that one technique that can multiply my power by 20? No. I'll just let this old man robot impale me with his hand. Genius!"
DnDArtdump
Well, until Goku busted it out again in Super and then gave Vegeta PTSD lmao
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
Kaio-WHAT? *mountain crashing noises*
LincLoud
At least someone mentioned it. Krillin survived a fight with Imperfect Cell, he took on Frieza at different versions of his transformation.>
122andan8th
He handled his own in the gotdamn tournament if power. People better put some respect on my man Takahashi. (No one will get this)
justfillingthespace
I didn't know Krillin invented Yugioh
122andan8th
Wrong Takahashi. Damn, the downvotes. I guess people thought I was referring to someone else?
justfillingthespace
Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yugioh. Idk why the downvotes, but he's the only Takahashi I (and I imagine most people) know of.
mward1984
Imperfect nothing. Perfect Cell backhanded him through a mountain and the guy didn't even need a senzu bean.
Calamarre
he is NOT human, is he ? he has no nose.... Yamcha is the strongest human isn't it ? (others are only "human" with the quotes)
TheLastBootyBender
Heck, Krillin invented an attack that could hurt Frieza, and then Frieza decided to use against goku cause it was so good.
dunkum09
He would have taken out Nappa. Only reason he didn't is that Vegeta warned the idiot not to try to catch the destructo disk
SPQAAE
dunkum09
Side note: due a to a typo that almost read "destruto dick" which has vastly different connotations and is also definitely what 18 calls it
LeviathanOmega
Didn't just take on Frieza. Literally took off his TAIL. Frieza. Who 90% of the Galaxy dare not even TOUCH.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Yup. The only people to cause visible damage to Freeza in all of Z are Goku, Trunks, and Krillin. He's hanging tight with two SSJs.
LeviathanOmega
And Frieza has a special hatred of him for it.
LincLoud
It's a bit outside of the main show canon but he also helped Gohan fight Garlic Jr., he stands up to guys even if he's afraid
mward1984
That said... I think we need to recognise that Tien CANONICALLY threw Tri-Beams at imperfect Cell for FOUR GODDAMN HOURS.
mward1984
That move KILLED him last time he used it once!
AnticlockwiseMetamorphosis
"Kiko fuck yourself"
RexNihil
IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN, I'M GOING TO BE SO FREAKING NETTLED
HappyTimeHollis
That fucker was powerful. How the fuck you leave a rectangular scorch mark from a triangular beam? Dude messing with the laws of physics!
TharrickLawson
probably the same way that all these squares make a circle
LincLoud
He used to be a much bigger badass until they decided to basically push everyone who wasn't a Saiyan out of frame.
LtColScottyBukkake
I particularly like the tournament of power recruitment episode did him justice
RoyalWithChz
Can you give me more info? I’d like to watch that.
aPinchofMensch
You realize that's for story reasons and if there were any shred of reality to it, he'd be dead, quickly, many more times over.
NiceGreenArrows
...the "reality" is he's gokus first rival, learned from a great martial arts master and got powered up by both god and aliens...
LucidPariah
And he still managed to land 18! Yamcha becomes an absolute Bitch and Krillin has won the game!
LincLoud
"Shred of reality" to the story about space-monkey-men with energy attacks fighting aliens, androids, and gods? Yeah...
aPinchofMensch
Literally anyone after orig DB can one tap his ass. The only reason they didn't, was plot armor and story padding. Get over it.
TheZommie
also a three year old surviving alone in a forest filled with dinosaurs until he is like 10, then speaking perfect japanese
theauthor
I've always wondered why Krillin didn't use a wish to turn himself Saiyan or just wish to go beyond the limits of humans.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Because he likes himself.
OatmealChocolateChipCookies
Oh, no, no, no. The dragon balls are for important wishes, like for Bulma's vanity.
RoyalWithChz
What did Bulma use it for to affect her vanity?
moonshadowkati
Krillin rarely ever WINS, but he always puts up a half-decent showing. I admire his guts.
Jonesso
He knows that he is just there to buy time but damn he does his best every time regardless
kaitekarue
Hes the badass who sets the bar of how badass the badguy is. Krillian is the BEST human. And when he gets wrecked.. well then the saiyans.
WynnCreek
He's got a 100% winrate against any other Human, poor dude just keeps getting involved with shit way above his paygrade.
WhyDontYouMakeMe
He can hold on against overwhelming odds until help arrives basically every time. He's humanity's first line of defense
Pupvote
Krillin is my favorite character by dint of his huge balls. He's played up as a coward, but he shows up and puts the fucking work in.
superfluffysheep
Krillin's my favorite too. He's like the foundation that holds up all the other characters. He's not the spotlight, but he's needed.
justatinyduck
And he is at least two raditzes strong
CogPrimus
It is easy to admire his guts, they're often on the outside.
moonshadowkati
Touche, you have me there. :)
Morkath
He married android 18, and probably has the healthiest relationship of all of them, he definitely won.
LincLoud
True but I think that's what made him cool. He tried without knowing he would/could win. It's boring if you know the guy will always win.
ziralien
I enjoyed his 'scared, but finding himself' again arc in Super. He knows everyone outclasses him, and that eats at him. But he overcomes.
